Classic Game Room reviews MISSILE COMMAND for iPad, part of the Atari's Greatest Hits collection available for download in the Apple iTunes store. The Atari Greatest Hits collection is a free app for your iPad and comes with Missile Command, so this game is (as of this review), FREE! Play the 80's arcade classic Missile Command with the touch screen recreated trak-ball or filp the iPad horizontally to play with your finger acting as the cursor. Sadly, Missile Command on the iPad fails to live up to the awesome experience of playing Missile Command with a Trak-Ball. Fans of Atari classics can also cheaply purchase additional Atari 2600 games and arcade classics for Atari's Greatest Hits like Yars' Revenge, Swordquest Waterworld and Crystal Castles... but once you see the fumbling controls of Missile Command you may just want to break out your real Atari 2600 instead. CGR video review shows gameplay of Missile Command played on iPad with touch screen controls replicating the arcade track ball from the Missile Command arcade videogame.

It is considered one of the most notable games from the Golden Age of Video Arcade Games. The plot of Missile Command is simple: the player's six cities are being attacked by an endless hail of ballistic missiles, some of them even splitting like multiple independently targetable reentry vehicles (MIRVs), and in later levels smart bombs which can evade a less than perfectly targeted missile. As a regional commander of three anti-missile batteries, the player must defend six cities in their zone from being destroyed.GameplayThe game is played by moving a crosshair across the sky background via a trackball and pressing one of three buttons to launch a counter-missile from the appropriate battery. Counter-missiles explode upon reaching the crosshair, leaving a fireball that persists for several seconds and destroys any enemy missiles that enter it. There are three batteries, each with ten missiles; a missile battery becomes useless when all its missiles are fired, or if the battery is destroyed by enemy fire. The missiles of the central battery fly to their targets at much greater speed; only these missiles can effectively kill a smart bomb at a distance.The game is staged as a series of levels of increasing difficulty; each level contains a set number of incoming enemy weapons. The weapons attack the six cities, as well as the missile batteries; being struck by an enemy weapon results in destruction of the city or missile battery. Enemy weapons are only able to destroy 3 cities during one level. A level ends when all enemy weaponry is destroyed or reaches its target. A player who runs out of missiles no longer has control over the remainder of the level. At the conclusion of a level, the player receives bonus points for any remaining cities or unused missiles. Between levels missile batteries are rebuilt and replenished; destroyed cities are rebuilt only at set point levels (usually 10 or 12K).The game inevitably ends when all six cities are destroyed, unless the player manages to score enough points to earn a bonus city before the end of the level. Like most early arcade games, there is no way to "win" the game; the game just keeps going with ever faster and more prolific incoming missiles. The game, then, is just a contest in seeing how long the player can survive. On conclusion of the game, the screen displays "The End", perhaps a poke at oncoming Nuclear Holocaust rather than the standard "Game Over" text. This conclusion is skipped, however, if the player makes the high score list and the game prompts the player to enter hisher initials.The game features an interesting bug: once a score of 810,000 is reached, a large number of cities are awarded (176 cities plus the continuing accrual of bonus cities) and it is possible to carry on playing for several hours. At some later stage the speed of missiles increases greatly for a few screens. On the 255th and 256th yellow screens, known as the 0x stages, the scoring increases by 256 times the base value. For good players these two 0x stages could earn over a million points. This enabled them to reach a score of approximately 2,800,000 (although only 6 digit scores were shown, so it would display 800,000) and at this point the accelerated rate would suddenly cease and the game would restart at its original (slow) speed and return to the first stage, but with the score and any saved cities retained. In this way it was possible to play this game for hours on end.If you would like to support Gaming History Source. You can do so by making donations at. http:www.patreon.comghs

Missile Command (Atari, 1980) and how I was too lazy to use the president of the United States as a lever in grade-school popularity contests, unlike certain people I could name.

Me playing Missile Command on my Playstation 2 by Atari Anthology collection. Released for arcade in 1980, during the Cold War (which seems to have been one of his inspirations), Missile Command is more a classic from the golden age of arcade.The goal of the game is protect six cities from attack by enemies míssies, slaughtering them before they reached their targets. The game has a fast and furious gameplay. Missile Command was ported to many systems, including the Atari 2600 that has a great version of this game.

Classic Game Room reviews the PAY-TO-PLAY ARCADE MACHINE MONEY BOX from Paladone which is a mini arcade cabinet version of the videogame, EARTH DEFENDERS! Defend Earth from alien invaders one coin at a time. This pseudo-bank is a cool way to save coins or get your coworkers to fork over some cash for arcade gaming time. Each coin (the machine has no idea what kind of coin you insert) gives players 2 minutes of Earth Defenders action. The video game itself is a Space Invaders inspired game that plays like one of the old LCD 80's handhelds. CGR video review of Earth Defenders Pay to Play Arcade Machine Money Box has video review footage of the Earth Defenders arcade machine Money Box in HD action. Available from ThinkGeek.com
